It was better next year – help us plan interfuse 2026!
Time for a new novel idea!
picking the 2026 Interfuse theme!Interfuse has prided itself on being a community first and from the bottom-up organization. To that end, we look to the great dusty masses of our Burner families and ask, “So what do we do NOW?”
We ask you, the artists, the lovers, our prank goblins, and creative personalities abound: what should the theme be for Interfuse 2026?
We will keep this open for some time, and once we have enough submissions, expect a poll to be published for YOU (yes, you specifically reader) to help decide.
You have until June 12th to submit your theme!
Burns are always better next year!
tell us how to make that true!Interfuse is the community. That means your voice matters. Whether you’ve got glowing praise, a spicy gripe, or an idea that might make next year even better, we want to hear it. This isn’t just a form for venting, it’s a channel for co-creating the event we all love.
Drop your feedback, big or small, and know that someone will read it with care. The weird little city we build together gets better because you speak up.
You have until July 10th to submit your feedback!
Help us revamp the survival Guide!
The Interfuse Survival Guide is a multi-page document that helps virgin and veteran burners alike prepare and plan for another year of burning at Interfuse! It’s been a while since it’s had a major facelift, so we are requesting community input on what needs to be added or changed. Click the button below to access a google doc and leave suggestions!

MO Weather has more plot twists than your favorite novel
May in Missouri is notorious for unpredictable and wet weather patterns. While a forecast could be optimistic, always prepare for the possibility of rain and a gambit of temperatures. A good pair of rain proof boots and extra socks (stored in something like a ziplock bag to stay dry) are a boon any experienced Burner wouldn’t be caught dead without. If leaving camp for awhile, maybe think to secure a rainfly and tie down any shade shelters in case of scattered showers.
Exodus
- Interfuse comes to a close Sunday. Everyone needs to be off site by 5:00pm unless you’re working with our volunteer crews restoring the land and securing equipment.
- Leave No Trace
- Maybe “de-hippy” your vehicle while leaving to avoid unnecessary attention from LEO.
“Closing time, open all the doors
And let you out into the world
Closing time, turn all of the lights on
Over every boy and every girl
Closing time, one last call for alcohol
So, finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time, you don’t have to go home
But you can’t stay here”
